Predict the approximate molecular geometry of a formaldehyde molecule:

trigonal planar geometry

Explanation:

The molecule, formaldehyde , has three regions of electron density around the molecule. The carbon atom is the central atom in the molecule of formaldehyde.

Recall that each bond around the central carbon atom in formaldehyde- both single and double are counted as a single region of electron density. Molecules having three regions of electron density around the central atom have a trigonal planar geometry.
